Eagle Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 How do you figure it's a match? Those slots don't look to me like they align with the original. Look at your first photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mancheman Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 How do you figure it's a match? Those slots don't look to me like they align with the original. Look at your first photo. The first photo may have been slightly misaligned as I’m only using hex keys as rough placeholders for a better point of view, but the crankshaft bolts match up even when bolted up the the crank, it goes into the same spot the old one came out of and appears to have the windows in all the correct places when bolted to the crank, and the same manufacture as far as I can tell.... I will be installing this afternoon and I will try to keep everyone updated through the project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 The bolt holes have to line up or it can't be bolted to the crankshaft. That's not the issue. The issue is that the relationship between the CPS windows on the perimeter have to be exactly positioned relative to the crankshaft or the injection and ignition timing of the engine will be off. It doesn't matter if that perimeter ring has all the holes sized and spaced the same as the other one unless that ring is correctly positioned relative to the mounting holes. And your photos do not give me any confidence that the ring is correctly positioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
